Gold Mining on the Internet

I think my mate Dave does not think too much about blogs but maybe The Internet has just scraped the surface in our lives. How does one do gold mining over The Internet?. This is an example of thinking outside the box.

If you are a Gold Mining Company you get all your charts of your mine with all the geological data and you put it all on The Internet. You then offer the public £500,000 reward for succesfully predicting gold veins in your Gold Mine.

The bosses' management team thought he had flipped his lid but they were made to eat their words. Retired geologists, students, military people and others were able to predict many sites that the company's own people were unable to find turning the value of the company from 100 million to 9 billion.

The Evening Leader appear to have seen the light with regards media and now sees the future as a collaboration between themselves and their readers.

The Guardian Online being IMHO the best around. Their Comment is Free being particularly good. Some of their contributors I can live without though. Toynbee, Tariq Ali etc.
